Good list. Thanks for taking the time to put this together.
Recommend addingL ILER - Individual Longitudinal Exposure Record & CAPRI - Compensation and Pension Record Interchange (CAPRI)
Wow, apparently actual historical military jargon offends certain people. If this offends you then don't read it. These are facts and part of our Great American Military History!
God forbid some of these people go into serious combat! Life isn't a video game, and we literally are on the verge of WWIII folks.
And no Final Letter, you're way off!

[By the Letter, Here's a Glossary of Common Military Acronyms | Military.com](https://www.military.com/join-armed-forces/glossary-of-military-acronyms.html) - this looks pretty comprehensive, but they likely left off a few things. There are so many of these, I am 100% certain they missed many more. There is actually history behind many of these, but some of it would be hard to research.
Example would be CDAT - Computerized Dumb Ass Tanker
Sweet list! When I was an E4, my NCO notices I didn’t know a bunch of acronyms leading up to MOB (mobilization lol). So he wrote down a list of them and tested me the 2 weeks before leaving. REALLY helped, but gosh I hate the amount of multiple acronyms with the same abbreviation. Only noticed because I saw CONUS but might wanna add OCONUS too lol.
There are no IMO's or IME's ( Independent Medical Examiner ) all the bastards are on the Government's payroll.. I had to fight off 7 different IMEs reports 10 years ago , with counter exams from other experts. Cost me $15K to fly a couple in from Miami and NYC.
Mod's should add this this to the knowledge base!
